ironic that u just posted a threead about this. i just learned it a few days ago too. and i dont ever practice things like idling - i just knew how to i dle and did a 1 ft idle on my first try. i thought of doing this cuz for some reason i was thinknig of that freestyle video that tyler made a month or so ago and he did it.

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I.. got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window.. and I can't see at all And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.. bad... bad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chosen's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9281 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44143
I had the experience just this week of 1-foot idling for the 1st time. I remember trying it before and thinking "nope.", but this time it felt really easy. 1-foot WW, huh? I haven't gotten the 2-footed variety down yet. This winter promises to hold some serious skill practice time (the club's gym is the perfect place to work on stuff). Summer has been mostly recreational touring/Muni-ing.
If you haven't already, try to mount into OF idling and OF idle on your "non-dominant" side as soon as possible.

Great job! 1-foot WW, huh? I haven't gotten the 2-footed variety down yet.
Me neither. I wasn't making much progress learning 2fww, and since all I really want to learn is gliding, I figured I'd just skip that step and go to 1fww. In a very short time, I've almost caught up with my 2f distance (about 10-15 feet.) BTW, the WW was the only thing I was doing on my Muni, not the 20"
Well, as of today, I can do all the tricks up to level 4 (though not consistantly), and about half of level 5. I definately think I'm a 20" convert. 😄 Giving back this uni today to my friend. My freestyle arrives Friday. 🙂
Congrats on the 1FT idle. I'm assuming this is with your other foot on the crown? Which makes the next stop 1FT idling with foot extended.
Yeah, I finally got the hang of 1-foot foot-on-crown riding (I learnt to ride 1 foot off-crown), but started learning foot-on-crown when I got my KH24". It's easier on the 20", though--not so high.
I took unibrier's advice and started working on mount-to-1foot as the next step. I got it once today.
I still can't ride left-footed. I really should start working on that soon, too. So much to learn....so much homework...🙁
